In an effort to shrink our rootfs by some major numbers we found two low-hanging fruits that we would like to address before cherry picking and removing lots of good linux functionality. We have no need for the uImage (3MB) stored in /boot and also we can leave out the terminfo tree (2.5MB). My question here now is if the build system provide functionality to actually tell the image builder not to include these specific components? From kernel.bbclass, you just need to clear RDEPENDS_kernel-base in your .conf files: # Allow machines to override this dependency if kernel image files are # not wanted in images as standard RDEPENDS_kernel-base ?= "kernel-image" You'll still get your kernel modules installed after making this change. Bruce Thanks Bruce.How could I have missed that? I believe I scanned through the kernel.bbclass for something like this. Also got some good tip regarding /usr/share/terminfo? Guess I need to figure out what package drags it in ;)
Not off the top of my head. Hopefully someone else with experience in that area will notice the traffic and jump in :) I'm fairly certain that is is controllable, since in the past, I've known it to be removed and tuned for small systems, so it's not a completely uncommon thing to do. Cheers, Bruce
